The Hawks are flying high, but the Lakers? Not so much. 🦅😠In this jam-packed episode, we break down South River High’s spring sports dominance—track stars are sprinting, shot puts are soaring, and our softball team has turned their home field into a no-fly zone for opponents.
Our lacrosse squads? Peaking like it’s finals week. Baseball? Crushing it and delivering batting averages that make MLB scouts do a double take.
Plus, we serve up spicy takes on the Lakers’ playoff faceplant, the NFL draft’s biggest surprises, and ESPN’s "Way Too Early Power Rankings" (Spoiler: We disagree. Loudly.).
Tune in for bold predictions, epic wins, and maybe a little shade thrown at the Lakers’ expense. Subscribe now—your earbuds will thank you.

Let's not get ahead ofourselves.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Seahawk Nation be there.
Are we going up to Decatur?
We know what we do at Decatur.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If you're the 4-5, does that mean Decatur is the
number one seed?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, decatur is the one They've got the bye
Interesting seed.
Yeah, decatur's the one theygot the buy interesting, that's
gonna be a big one then.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
All right, let's win out here, let's win out, and
then let's take care of businessnext time, I agree all right,
that's.
I mean.
We only have a few more gamesof regular season, and then we
hit the playoffs across theboard.
So speaking of playoffs, though, do I dare say this one word
Lakers.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Man, I mean Shannon, wasn't wrong.
So what I'm going to say is,when they won the game game four
, man, I knew we weren't goingto win another game.
But you know, I was just.
You know, I was just cherishingevery moment of LeBron's
moments on that court Because,you never know, Is it over for
LeBron Is.
LeBron done no moment ofLeBron's moment, because you
never know, is it over forLeBron?
Is LeBron done?
No, he's not done.
You never know nowadays.
(07:09):
But no, honestly, I'm going tothrow that game on.
Just Rob Palenka not getting usbig.
I mean, we made Rudy Gobertlook like Shaq.
What did he have?
27-24?
27-24.
Playoff career highsHorrible.24, I believe 27-24.
That's what makes the playoffcareer highs.
That's just shit Horrible.
Okay, I got two things RobPalenka and Austin Reeves.
(07:31):
Austin Reeves, if you'rehearing this, how are you going
to shoot that bad, take thatmany bad shots, have that many
turnovers?
He is not getting paid nextyear.
I hope he knows that.
Not getting paid.
I do think we do have toaddress that.
Luka man, what is this defense?
We've been seeing this ishorrid, this is disgusting
defense.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Wait a minute.
Has it changed in the last fiveyears of?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Luka, it's looked a little lazier.
Bro, he's gotten bigger.
Yeah, like his offense is cool.
Like you know, he's a dominantoffensive guy.
But I just watched a clip ofhim before I guess he found out
what American food was, becausehe was like, just came into the
league dunking on people playingfull-court defense and he's
kind of lost that.
He's kind of lost the spark.
I feel like he let the moneyget to him, the money and the
(08:11):
food too.
So you're blaming American foodon his defense, blaming American
food on Luka Doncic's notplaying defense correct?
I mean, does Redick have a sayin this?
How, saying this, how do wefeel jj right guy, I feel like
so I think he did a solid year.
Um, I mean, he did get in thethird seed.
Yeah, exactly, I think.
Um, you know him and lebronbeing coaches of the team, you
(08:32):
know very, really help um thelakers, but, um, I feel like
lebron's at a point in hiscareer where he can't.
He still is the main guy, buthe shouldn't be.
He should have to play 40minutes in the game.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Four, where he is.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
40, yeah, where he is 40, but he has to drop 30
points to stay in the game.
30 points, triple double, likehe's really get breaks and I
feel like luca luca being on theground every five seconds.
He was sick, apparently, but Ithink that's cappy's defense.
And austin reeves, I mean goingover nine in the first half on
fadeaway threes.
That's ridiculous.
Wasting nine possessions, norebounds, no defense, like can't
be happening.
(09:03):
Can't be happening, can't behappening.
Ant-man just killed everybody.
Yeah, yeah, he just devoured.
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is.
Nasri was big off the bench aswell, and Jaden McDaniels Jaden
McDaniels was fire off the bench.
Fire off the bench.
Which?
Lakers had 13 bench points asthe most points.
That was the most points theyhad in any.
They didn't have any benchplayers come in the fourth
(09:23):
quarter.
I know because the bench hadzero points.
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Bronny.
Bronny didn't put any points up.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Bronny.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Did Bronny even get in the game?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
They didn't give my man no burn.
It's ridiculous yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I think LeBron might be done.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, absolutely not.
I was talking to him the otherday.
He's good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I think LeBron might be done.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
No, you don't want him to be done.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I don't know if I want it, but I think he might be
done.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
No, he's good.
What did he average this year?
24, 9, and 8?
Are you serious?
He's good, he's good I wastalking to him and Savannah the
other day.
We're straight.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
What else?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Anything else in the playoffs.
I mean, he put Thompson onskates and the Soar is like the
best sperm of the Thunder.
He put him on skates to hit athree to I mean really to end it
.
He put up 40.
He's gold.
Yeah, he's nice.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Is Finn still with us , or is he thinking to himself?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
what has happened to Austin?
I'm not a big basketball guy,Tom.
I'm not a big of topics to getto.
I do want to address one morething in the NBA, please.
I mean the Warriors gettingblown out the other night kind
of shocked me Curry was smilingthough he was, he was.
Do we think the Rockets have achance here?
(10:36):
They're so young, they are soyoung.
I really like the Pistons too.
The.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Pistons are gone, oh wait.
The Pistons too.
Pistons are gone, oh wait.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They are.
Pistons are gone.
They're with the Lakers.
They're hanging out in Cabosomewhere.
Yeah, no, I like the Rockets alot, yeah, yeah.
Can we address one thing though?
Huh, let's talk about PatSpencer Davidsonville alum
getting ejected from the game.
He's a.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Davidsonville alum.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, he, he's a Davidsonville alum.
Yes, he went to Davidsonville.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Elementary and he got thrown out.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He got thrown out of the game.
He got in Dylan Brooks' face.
Yeah, I know Draymond lovedthat.
Oh, yes, he got ejected, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Do you think he's a first Davidsonville alum to get
thrown out of an NBA?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
playoff game.
He's the first Davidsonvillealum to be in the league.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
He was the number one lacrosse player in the nation.
He switched sports Only up fromhere, only up.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Only up Can we talk about your guy Sanders, shedder
falling for the fifth Outrage.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
He's a clown.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
What's your opinion?
Tom, Does he have money?
I thought for sure the Eagleswere going to take him.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm glad they didn't.
No, shedder's a clown.
He's the epitome of what iswrong with college football in
2025.
That's my opinion.
That's not ridiculous.
I think that Dylan Gabrieldoesn't.
Jalen Milrow, whoever?
That 35-year-old fromLouisville, tyler Schell, are
you serious?
Do you see him in the game?
He's doing underhand pass foran interception?
I will say, though, he's gotpotential.
(11:59):
He's 26.
He's 25.
He's going to be 26 when heplays Bro, are you serious?
I see the potential in him.
Shador threw for 4,000.
40 tuds.
Shador is entitled Entitled.
I would be entitled to bearrogant, yo, every college
football player is arrogant.
You got to be arrogant.
I think a lot of teams passedon Shador because at least
(12:20):
coaches.
I think, yeah, becauseion, if,if they fail with him, you know,
maybe dion would be thereplacement.
I think a lot of teams werejust, I don't think they saw.
I think they see the potentialin sudor, but I think they're
scared to make the pick.
I think I, yeah, exactly, Ithink they were, um, what's the
word?
I think, yeah, I think theywere just, you know, a little
hesitant.
Hesitant, yeah, about takingsudor, because they know that
(12:43):
sudador's been around so muchhis whole life where he might
know more than some of thesepeople, and they don't want to
be questioned by a rookie.
They want to be like you're arookie, listen to me.
But Shador, his dad, his dad'sseen it all.
He's been training with TomBrady since he was 12.
He's seen it all.
So they don't want to bechallenged by a rookie
quarterback.
I think that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I think that's part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
How would he be challenged?
He went 13-12 at Colorado, 1-8against ranked teams.
He's a clown, he sucks, hesucks.
There it is.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You know what I think ?
I think he's going to make anoutstanding starting quarterback
for the Toronto Agronauts.
Tom, I agree, I agree.
I think he's going to befantastic in the.
Cfl.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Where did you get that team?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
from.
I just pulled that as the onlyteam I could think of in the CFL
.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh, so like the Shanghai Sharks or something,
future DC Defenders quarterbackhe could be.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And I'd root for him.
I'd root for him as part ofthat team.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, yeah, all I got to say is put the watch up
to their face.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Norm, norm, the haters, norm the watch up to
their face, nor nor the hatersnorm, the capitals, oh yes, oh
man.
We.
We did not call it correctly,though they did not.
They did not sweep and they didget beat in game four.
We had predicted that theywould.
They would win by at leastthree.
Nothing, but we got it anywayin game.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Five yeah, uh, what did terrify me actually was
thompson going down from whendylan strome collided with him.
I, it was terrifying.
But um, this next series comingup is going to be difficult the
hurricanes, I believe.
It's going to start eithertuesday or wednesday and it's
going to be it's going to be aphysical series.
(14:21):
I think it might go, but ofcourse I got my caps and OV.
Yeah, I would say you got OV,you got Tom.
I would say, honestly, beatthem in game 6 or 7.
Like 6-7.
I don't know which one.
It's going to be one of the two, though for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You think it's going that far?
I'm calling it now Five games.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I believe we did get swept, though in the regular
season by them.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I didn't have that bit of information.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, but at the end of the day we have the best goal
scorer of all time.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And I think we have the best goalie.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I agree Best goalie in the league.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
All right, we got to keep Finn engaged here, so I
pulled up something for you guys.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
What.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's the ESPN's way.
Way too early NFL powerrankings.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Eagles should be number one.
I'm not sure what they are.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Let's start at number 10.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, let's start at number 10.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Number 10, the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Not bad.
I agree with that.
Trusting a rookie quarterback.
You have a rookie quarterbackcoming in and you think they're
already the 10th best team.
Where's Sam Donald quarterbackthat?
You have a rookie quarterbackcoming in.
You think he they're alreadythe 10th best team.
Where's sam donald seahawks?
Yeah, I mean, the defense isthere, the offense is there.
I do like o'connell as thecoach.
I just think I mean mccarthy isgoing to determine the team.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, for sure number nine, the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I like that.
I'm a big believer.
I love Jordan Love.
They might hopefully for theirsake they have got their wide
receiver one, matthew Golden.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Number eight.
I think they chose the wrong LAteam for number eight.
They put the LA Rams.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I like that actually how do you?
Like that Stafford's a dog man.
Stafford, you like thatStafford's a dog man?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Stafford's getting old.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Stafford is a dog man .
I mean he uses a cane to get onthe field at this point.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, I think the Rams finish last in their
division next year, really.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Wow, that's hot.
Tom, that is very hot.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's what I think.
Number seven the CincinnatiBengals.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Not bad.
I mean I think they got to geta defense first, but I mean I'm
all for the offense.
I mean they got the best.
Joey B's due, he's due, yeahfor sure.
That's why just keep it due.
In the league they're playingthe best conference in football
they're going to be comp.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's for sure.
Don't forget about the Steelers.
The Steelers aren't on thislist.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's crazy.
Can you actually name theSteelers' starting quarterback
for me?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Don't worry about quarterback, it's an overrated
position.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I don't know about that one, I just screwed it up.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Number six are Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Too low, too low, but , but I like it.
I need to see who made thislist.
That is an awful.
That is an awful take.
Why is that an awful take?
What was the score of the?
All right buddy rookiequarterback.
All right, and just wait, justwait, just wait.
Saquon can't, he can't do itevery year we.
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
He might but, Number five, the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I like that.
I'm not mad because we can'tprove ourselves for crapping the
playoffs.
I think Till Lamar can reallyhave a playoff performance where
he shuts up everyone.
I think five's a good spot forthe Ravens.
Vin just said Lamar needs to go.
That's a top three quarterbackin the league.
Vin just said Lamar needs to go.
That's a top three quarterbackin the league.
That is crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You can't win the big game though.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Peyton Manning was 1-8 in playoff games.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
He cannot win the big game.
That's the bottom line.
So you think Jalen Hurts.
You've had Jalen Hurts since.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Seriously See.
This is why I hate the SuperBowl.
This is why I hate the SuperBowl talk.
He got carried by SlickwadBarkley in a great off his line.
Come on.
Finn, he got push-pushed in theend zone every five seconds.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You can't tell me Hurts is better than Jackson
he's.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Bunda.
No, I'm not saying he's better,but he did a job.
Who would you rather have Mefor real Horrible, God awful.
You should never watch footballagain and talk about football
ever again.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Number four, the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I love them, they're so overrated I'm so excited
about them, but guess what?
They did beat the Ravens in theplayoffs.
I agree with the take.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I do like Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, I love Josh.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Allen why I like having a big quarterback who can
throw the ball a mile and runanybody over quarterback who can
throw the ball a mile and runanybody over.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'll give you that.
I'll give you that.
Yeah, I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right, we're in our top three now.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
have any guesses on who number three?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
is Chiefs two, no, chiefs one, eagles two, and
who's the third?
We're missing a big.
The Lions are third.
The Lions are third.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
The Lions are third.
I think that's way too high.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I agree, after what a rookie quarterback just did to
them in the playoffs and theylost both their coordinators.
They did.
I'm not a big fan of BenJohnson personally.
I think he's a great offensivemind.
I don't know if he can lead ateam with the Bears.
They have a great head coach,though.
Dan Campbell is the man DanCampbell is the man.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Dan Campbell is the man, and then sitting at number
two, our defending Super Bowlchampions, the Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Eagles.
Why are the Chiefs number one?
Yep, I mean, oh my gosh, I'm anEagles fan and the Chiefs being
number one, I can agree withthat.
No, I mean, at the end of theday, you have the best playoff
performer in the league rightnow.
It's former in the league rightnow.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Uh, it's not, it's.
I still think you gotta giveeagles one, just just off the
pure fact that they won thesuper bowl.
This is disrespectful, yeah,honestly I'm gonna give you my,
my hot take here.
I don't think the chiefs areeven the best team in their
division stop it, stop it, I'mtaking the chargers who didn't
even make the list.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Talk to me when herbert gets a playoff win.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He's going to get one this year.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Who's the wide receiver?
One Keenan.
Is he even there anymore?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
No, keenan's a free agent right now, bro, who do
they?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
have oh no Chill, they have Ladd McConkie and
Quinton Johnson, the one thathas to call the ball and save
his life.
I mean, the running back roomis looking good.
I like Amarion Hampton andNajee Harris.
I don't know if you should havepicked Amarion Hampton first
round, but I do like him.
But, tom, I got a question.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Why the Chargers?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm going to put the Chargers number one in the
division and I'm going to putthe Denver Broncos number two.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
That's rage bait.
They don't even have the.
Oh my gosh.
That's rage bait.
That's crazy.
What do you see in Bo next?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I see an up-and-coming quality
quarterback.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I like that, though I don't.
I like that, I don't.
I actually hate that pick.
I just despise that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, I'm not sure if they're, I don't mind, sean
Payton, the date is Friday.
Friday May 2nd.
I'm going to say it right nowthe Chiefs don't even make the
playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Oh my God, this would have to be a Mahomes injury,
isn't this?
The fact that every year,mahomes has played and started?
He's made it to at least AFCChampionship.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yes, the streak stops this year.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That is ridiculous.
Okay, I think maybe the streakstops, but it stops in the
playoffs.
That's ridiculous.
The only way this happens is ifMahomes is playing on two
broken ACLs.
You never know Broken.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
ACLs Torn ACLs All right, that's my hot take.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You guys each get one Hot take for this coming NFL
season.
Yeah, make it better than thatone.
Oh, give me a.
I mean, I don't think it's ahot take, so I'm not going to
say it, but I was going to sayGene Daniels, mvp.
But it's not a hot take, it isa hot take, that's a hot take.
You got to be out Burrow MarkAllen and Mahomes.
(21:53):
I mean, as a rookie, he wasright there.
No, he wasn't, he was top six.
Personally, my hot take is theCommanders don't even make the
playoffs, stop it, stop it.
My hot take you want to hearmine?
Yeah, you want to hear mine.
I think last year was a flukefor the Commanders.
I think they don't make theplayoffs either.
I agree, I think they had theHail Mary.
They had too many close games.
They had too many close calls.
No, but we finished in theseclose games.
(22:19):
That's a talent to be able tofinish in.
You, finishing in the lastminutes of the game had your
record go from maybe 500 or lessto a great record, but I'm
telling you, it's a skill to beable to finish close games.
It's not luck I don't thinkyou're going to have the skill
this year.
We'll see.
I don't think so.
We'll see my hot take I'm goingto try to go AFC here.
(22:41):
Let's see here.
I think Stroud has a big bounceback here.
I love it.
I think Stroud throws for40-plus touchdowns.
That's oh God.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But yeah, 40 touchdowns 35-plus touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Stroud throws for 35-plus 40.
Nah, put him on here.
Give me 37-plus, 37-plustouchdowns.
I like D'Amico Ryan.
I think he's a great defensivecoach.
I think they just got to figureout their offense.
They have Nico Collins who is aI think he is a top five
receiver in the league.
No, DeHop's on the Ravens.
(23:17):
Yeah, DeHop is on the Ravens.
I don't even know why I pickedhim up.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
DeHop's, older than LeBron Alright, who has given
their hot take.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yet I think we all have, we all have.
We have Finn and Jin saying theCamaras aren't going to make
the playoffs.
I have Stroud throwing for37-plus touchdowns this year.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Nobody's going to say the Eagles won't make the
playoffs.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Because they will.
Tom, that's what I'm saying.
As long as they got Barkley,they got a chance, they got off
at the line, they can runBarkley.
It could be hard to stop.
That's not even a hot take,it's impossible.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All right, close us out.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
What else do you got?
Final thing here oh, countychampionship lacrosse Monday For
Severn Park Northeast AtNortheastastern.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's Saverna Park South River at Northeast.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's so horrible.
5 o'clock.
We need to win.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Are we healthy?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Trevor's getting back .
Trevor's coming back.
I'm not sure when he'll be back.
They might be saving him forplayoffs.
I think that's a smart move.
It looks like he's gettingbetter.
They have the region and thecounty think that's a smart move
.
Yeah, it looks like he'sgetting better.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He's got to have the region and the county.
Yeah, I agree, that's a goodpoint.
Get the last laugh.
Yeah, all right, we've got toget out there.
We've got to root for it.

And then we have Westminster onMonday, which also should be a
win.
Right now we're locked intoplaying Arundel at home on
Thursday, first playoff game.
Not bad, yeah.
We beat them last year, we beatthem this season, so it should
be a good win.
And then we'll see.

Decatur Saturday morning, next Saturday.
So what seed are we?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I think we're the four.
I'm pretty sure we're the fourseed.

So I think we're the four seedand Arundel should be the five.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
All right, and how are you doing?
Personally?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
This is probably the best season I've had so far.
As of now, I have 20 hits, Ithink Pretty good fielding
percentage.

360.
Spin blue.

Now do we have any home runs?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
No, I do not.
I do not have any home runs.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You've got to get a home run here.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I know I'm a contact hitter.
He's saving it for the playoffsA lot of singles I'll play,
I'll save it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Who's the big home run?
Do we have a home run?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
hitter Probably Deshaun Branch and Nolan Hooker
just hit a home run the otherday against the Verna Park.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Of course you did man Yep Stud.
Big-time player and who's ourpitchers?
Who's our big pitchers?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
For us.
We have our three main startersPreston Preston Case he's
Another one.
He started a bunch of big gamesfor us.
And then Jason Tebbe is anotherstarter for us who's pitched
great games, a lot of wins.
And then we have two closers,dom Drain and Bradley Taylor.
They close most of our gamesand then I'll pitch a little bit
.
Yeah, it's pretty good staff.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, sounds like it All right.
No-transcript, we're going towin Monday.
Tell us again when the playoffgame is.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Thursday at home against Arundel and Decatur.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
We've got to win.
Let's not get ahead ofourselves.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Seahawk Nation be there.
Are we going up to Decatur?
We know what we do at Decatur.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If you're the 4-5, does that mean Decatur is the
number one seed?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, decatur is the one They've got the bye
Interesting seed.
Yeah, decatur's the one theygot the buy interesting, that's
gonna be a big one then.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
All right, let's win out here, let's win out, and
then let's take care of businessnext time, I agree all right,
that's.
I mean.
We only have a few more gamesof regular season, and then we
hit the playoffs across theboard.
So speaking of playoffs, though, do I dare say this one word
Lakers.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Man, I mean Shannon, wasn't wrong.
So what I'm going to say is,when they won the game game four
, man, I knew we weren't goingto win another game.
But you know, I was just.
You know, I was just cherishingevery moment of LeBron's
moments on that court Because,you never know, Is it over for
LeBron Is.
LeBron done no moment ofLeBron's moment, because you
never know, is it over forLeBron?
Is LeBron done?
No, he's not done.
You never know nowadays.
(07:09):
But no, honestly, I'm going tothrow that game on.
Just Rob Palenka not getting usbig.
I mean, we made Rudy Gobertlook like Shaq.
What did he have?
27-24?
27-24.
Playoff career highsHorrible.24, I believe 27-24.
That's what makes the playoffcareer highs.
That's just shit Horrible.
Okay, I got two things RobPalenka and Austin Reeves.
(07:31):
Austin Reeves, if you'rehearing this, how are you going
to shoot that bad, take thatmany bad shots, have that many
turnovers?
He is not getting paid nextyear.
I hope he knows that.
Not getting paid.
I do think we do have toaddress that.
Luka man, what is this defense?
We've been seeing this ishorrid, this is disgusting
defense.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Wait a minute.
Has it changed in the last fiveyears of?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Luka, it's looked a little lazier.
Bro, he's gotten bigger.
Yeah, like his offense is cool.
Like you know, he's a dominantoffensive guy.
But I just watched a clip ofhim before I guess he found out
what American food was, becausehe was like, just came into the
league dunking on people playingfull-court defense and he's
kind of lost that.
He's kind of lost the spark.
I feel like he let the moneyget to him, the money and the
(08:11):
food too.
So you're blaming American foodon his defense, blaming American
food on Luka Doncic's notplaying defense correct?
I mean, does Redick have a sayin this?
How, saying this, how do wefeel jj right guy, I feel like
so I think he did a solid year.
Um, I mean, he did get in thethird seed.
Yeah, exactly, I think.
Um, you know him and lebronbeing coaches of the team, you
(08:32):
know very, really help um thelakers, but, um, I feel like
lebron's at a point in hiscareer where he can't.
He still is the main guy, buthe shouldn't be.
He should have to play 40minutes in the game.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Four, where he is.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
40, yeah, where he is 40, but he has to drop 30
points to stay in the game.
30 points, triple double, likehe's really get breaks and I
feel like luca luca being on theground every five seconds.
He was sick, apparently, but Ithink that's cappy's defense.
And austin reeves, I mean goingover nine in the first half on
fadeaway threes.
That's ridiculous.
Wasting nine possessions, norebounds, no defense, like can't
be happening.
(09:03):
Can't be happening, can't behappening.
Ant-man just killed everybody.
Yeah, yeah, he just devoured.
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is.
Nasri was big off the bench aswell, and Jaden McDaniels Jaden
McDaniels was fire off the bench.
Fire off the bench.
Which?
Lakers had 13 bench points asthe most points.
That was the most points theyhad in any.
They didn't have any benchplayers come in the fourth
(09:23):
quarter.
I know because the bench hadzero points.
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Bronny.
Bronny didn't put any points up.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Bronny.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Did Bronny even get in the game?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
They didn't give my man no burn.
It's ridiculous yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I think LeBron might be done.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, absolutely not.
I was talking to him the otherday.
He's good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I think LeBron might be done.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
No, you don't want him to be done.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I don't know if I want it, but I think he might be
done.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
No, he's good.
What did he average this year?
24, 9, and 8?
Are you serious?
He's good, he's good I wastalking to him and Savannah the
other day.
We're straight.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
What else?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Anything else in the playoffs.
I mean, he put Thompson onskates and the Soar is like the
best sperm of the Thunder.
He put him on skates to hit athree to I mean really to end it
.
He put up 40.
He's gold.
Yeah, he's nice.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Is Finn still with us , or is he thinking to himself?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
what has happened to Austin?
I'm not a big basketball guy,Tom.
I'm not a big of topics to getto.
I do want to address one morething in the NBA, please.
I mean the Warriors gettingblown out the other night kind
of shocked me Curry was smilingthough he was, he was.
Do we think the Rockets have achance here?
(10:36):
They're so young, they are soyoung.
I really like the Pistons too.
The.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Pistons are gone, oh wait.
The Pistons too.
Pistons are gone, oh wait.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They are.
Pistons are gone.
They're with the Lakers.
They're hanging out in Cabosomewhere.
Yeah, no, I like the Rockets alot, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Davidsonville alum.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, he, he's a Davidsonville alum.
Yes, he went to Davidsonville.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Elementary and he got thrown out.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He got thrown out of the game.
He got in Dylan Brooks' face.
Yeah, I know Draymond lovedthat.
Oh, yes, he got ejected, yeah.

playoff game.

I thought for sure the Eagleswere going to take him.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm glad they didn't.
No, shedder's a clown.
He's the epitome of what iswrong with college football in
2025.
That's my opinion.
That's not ridiculous.
I think that Dylan Gabrieldoesn't.
Jalen Milrow, whoever?
That 35-year-old fromLouisville, tyler Schell, are
you serious?
Do you see him in the game?
He's doing underhand pass foran interception?
I will say, though, he's gotpotential.
(11:59):
He's 26.
He's 25.
He's going to be 26 when heplays Bro, are you serious?
I see the potential in him.
Shador threw for 4,000.
40 tuds.
Shador is entitled Entitled.
I would be entitled to bearrogant, yo, every college
football player is arrogant.
You got to be arrogant.
I think a lot of teams passedon Shador because at least
(12:20):
coaches.
I think, yeah, becauseion, if,if they fail with him, you know,
maybe dion would be thereplacement.
I think a lot of teams werejust, I don't think they saw.
I think they see the potentialin sudor, but I think they're
scared to make the pick.
I think I, yeah, exactly, Ithink they were, um, what's the
word?
I think, yeah, I think theywere just, you know, a little
hesitant.
Hesitant, yeah, about takingsudor, because they know that
(12:43):
sudador's been around so muchhis whole life where he might
know more than some of thesepeople, and they don't want to
be questioned by a rookie.
They want to be like you're arookie, listen to me.
But Shador, his dad, his dad'sseen it all.
He's been training with TomBrady since he was 12.
He's seen it all.
So they don't want to bechallenged by a rookie
quarterback.
I think that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I think that's part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
How would he be challenged?
He went 13-12 at Colorado, 1-8against ranked teams.
He's a clown, he sucks, hesucks.
There it is.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You know what I think ?
I think he's going to make anoutstanding starting quarterback
for the Toronto Agronauts.
Tom, I agree, I agree.
I think he's going to befantastic in the.
Cfl.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Where did you get that team?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
from.
I just pulled that as the onlyteam I could think of in the CFL
.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh, so like the Shanghai Sharks or something,
future DC Defenders quarterbackhe could be.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And I'd root for him.
I'd root for him as part ofthat team.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, yeah, all I got to say is put the watch up
to their face.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Norm, norm, the haters, norm the watch up to
their face, nor nor the hatersnorm, the capitals, oh yes, oh
man.
We.
We did not call it correctly,though they did not.
They did not sweep and they didget beat in game four.
We had predicted that theywould.
They would win by at leastthree.
Nothing, but we got it anywayin game.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Five yeah, uh, what did terrify me actually was
thompson going down from whendylan strome collided with him.
I, it was terrifying.
But um, this next series comingup is going to be difficult the
hurricanes, I believe.
It's going to start eithertuesday or wednesday and it's
going to be it's going to be aphysical series.
(14:21):
I think it might go, but ofcourse I got my caps and OV.
Yeah, I would say you got OV,you got Tom.
I would say, honestly, beatthem in game 6 or 7.
Like 6-7.
I don't know which one.
It's going to be one of the two, though for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You think it's going that far?
I'm calling it now Five games.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I believe we did get swept, though in the regular
season by them.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I didn't have that bit of information.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, but at the end of the day we have the best goal
scorer of all time.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And I think we have the best goalie.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I agree Best goalie in the league.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
All right, we got to keep Finn engaged here, so I
pulled up something for you guys.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
What.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's the ESPN's way.
Way too early NFL powerrankings.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Eagles should be number one.
I'm not sure what they are.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Let's start at number 10.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, let's start at number 10.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Number 10, the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Not bad.
I agree with that.
Trusting a rookie quarterback.
You have a rookie quarterbackcoming in and you think they're
already the 10th best team.
Where's Sam Donald quarterbackthat?
You have a rookie quarterbackcoming in.
You think he they're alreadythe 10th best team.
Where's sam donald seahawks?
Yeah, I mean, the defense isthere, the offense is there.
I do like o'connell as thecoach.
I just think I mean mccarthy isgoing to determine the team.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, for sure number nine, the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I like that.
I'm a big believer.
I love Jordan Love.
They might hopefully for theirsake they have got their wide
receiver one, matthew Golden.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Number eight.
I think they chose the wrong LAteam for number eight.
They put the LA Rams.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I like that actually how do you?
Like that Stafford's a dog man.
Stafford, you like thatStafford's a dog man?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Stafford's getting old.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Stafford is a dog man .
I mean he uses a cane to get onthe field at this point.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, I think the Rams finish last in their
division next year, really.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Wow, that's hot.
Tom, that is very hot.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's what I think.
Number seven the CincinnatiBengals.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Not bad.
I mean I think they got to geta defense first, but I mean I'm
all for the offense.
I mean they got the best.
Joey B's due, he's due, yeahfor sure.
That's why just keep it due.
In the league they're playingthe best conference in football
they're going to be comp.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's for sure.
Don't forget about the Steelers.
The Steelers aren't on thislist.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's crazy.
Can you actually name theSteelers' starting quarterback
for me?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Don't worry about quarterback, it's an overrated
position.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I don't know about that one, I just screwed it up.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Number six are Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Too low, too low, but , but I like it.
I need to see who made thislist.
That is an awful.
That is an awful take.
Why is that an awful take?
What was the score of the?
All right buddy rookiequarterback.
All right, and just wait, justwait, just wait.
Saquon can't, he can't do itevery year we.
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
He might but, Number five, the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I like that.
I'm not mad because we can'tprove ourselves for crapping the
playoffs.
I think Till Lamar can reallyhave a playoff performance where
he shuts up everyone.
I think five's a good spot forthe Ravens.
Vin just said Lamar needs to go.
That's a top three quarterbackin the league.
Vin just said Lamar needs to go.
That's a top three quarterbackin the league.
That is crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You can't win the big game though.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Peyton Manning was 1-8 in playoff games.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
He cannot win the big game.
That's the bottom line.
So you think Jalen Hurts.
You've had Jalen Hurts since.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Seriously See.
This is why I hate the SuperBowl.
This is why I hate the SuperBowl talk.
He got carried by SlickwadBarkley in a great off his line.
Come on.
Finn, he got push-pushed in theend zone every five seconds.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You can't tell me Hurts is better than Jackson
he's.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Bunda.
No, I'm not saying he's better,but he did a job.
Who would you rather have Mefor real Horrible, God awful.
You should never watch footballagain and talk about football
ever again.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Number four, the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I love them, they're so overrated I'm so excited
about them, but guess what?
They did beat the Ravens in theplayoffs.
I agree with the take.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I do like Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, I love Josh.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Allen why I like having a big quarterback who can
throw the ball a mile and runanybody over quarterback who can
throw the ball a mile and runanybody over.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'll give you that.
I'll give you that.
Yeah, I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right, we're in our top three now.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
have any guesses on who number three?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
is Chiefs two, no, chiefs one, eagles two, and
who's the third?
We're missing a big.
The Lions are third.
The Lions are third.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
The Lions are third.
I think that's way too high.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I agree, after what a rookie quarterback just did to
them in the playoffs and theylost both their coordinators.
They did.
I'm not a big fan of BenJohnson personally.
I think he's a great offensivemind.
I don't know if he can lead ateam with the Bears.
They have a great head coach,though.
Dan Campbell is the man DanCampbell is the man.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Dan Campbell is the man, and then sitting at number
two, our defending Super Bowlchampions, the Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Eagles.
Why are the Chiefs number one?
Yep, I mean, oh my gosh, I'm anEagles fan and the Chiefs being
number one, I can agree withthat.
No, I mean, at the end of theday, you have the best playoff
performer in the league rightnow.
It's former in the league rightnow.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Uh, it's not, it's.
I still think you gotta giveeagles one, just just off the
pure fact that they won thesuper bowl.
This is disrespectful, yeah,honestly I'm gonna give you my,
my hot take here.
I don't think the chiefs areeven the best team in their
division stop it, stop it, I'mtaking the chargers who didn't
even make the list.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Talk to me when herbert gets a playoff win.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He's going to get one this year.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Who's the wide receiver?
One Keenan.
Is he even there anymore?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
No, keenan's a free agent right now, bro, who do
they?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
have oh no Chill, they have Ladd McConkie and
Quinton Johnson, the one thathas to call the ball and save
his life.
I mean, the running back roomis looking good.
I like Amarion Hampton andNajee Harris.
I don't know if you should havepicked Amarion Hampton first
round, but I do like him.
But, tom, I got a question.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Why the Chargers?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm going to put the Chargers number one in the
division and I'm going to putthe Denver Broncos number two.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
That's rage bait.
They don't even have the.
Oh my gosh.
That's rage bait.
That's crazy.
What do you see in Bo next?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I see an up-and-coming quality
quarterback.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I like that, though I don't.
I like that, I don't.
I actually hate that pick.
I just despise that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, I'm not sure if they're, I don't mind, sean
Payton, the date is Friday.
Friday May 2nd.
I'm going to say it right nowthe Chiefs don't even make the
playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Oh my God, this would have to be a Mahomes injury,
isn't this?
The fact that every year,mahomes has played and started?
He's made it to at least AFCChampionship.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yes, the streak stops this year.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That is ridiculous.
Okay, I think maybe the streakstops, but it stops in the
playoffs.
That's ridiculous.
The only way this happens is ifMahomes is playing on two
broken ACLs.
You never know Broken.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
ACLs Torn ACLs All right, that's my hot take.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You guys each get one Hot take for this coming NFL
season.
Yeah, make it better than thatone.
Oh, give me a.
I mean, I don't think it's ahot take, so I'm not going to
say it, but I was going to sayGene Daniels, mvp.
But it's not a hot take, it isa hot take, that's a hot take.
You got to be out Burrow MarkAllen and Mahomes.
(21:53):
I mean, as a rookie, he wasright there.
No, he wasn't, he was top six.
Personally, my hot take is theCommanders don't even make the
playoffs, stop it, stop it.
My hot take you want to hearmine?
Yeah, you want to hear mine.
I think last year was a flukefor the Commanders.
I think they don't make theplayoffs either.
I agree, I think they had theHail Mary.
They had too many close games.
They had too many close calls.
No, but we finished in theseclose games.
(22:19):
That's a talent to be able tofinish in.
You, finishing in the lastminutes of the game had your
record go from maybe 500 or lessto a great record, but I'm
telling you, it's a skill to beable to finish close games.
It's not luck I don't thinkyou're going to have the skill
this year.
We'll see.
I don't think so.
We'll see my hot take I'm goingto try to go AFC here.
(22:41):
Let's see here.
I think Stroud has a big bounceback here.
I love it.
I think Stroud throws for40-plus touchdowns.
That's oh God.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But yeah, 40 touchdowns 35-plus touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Stroud throws for 35-plus 40.
Nah, put him on here.
Give me 37-plus, 37-plustouchdowns.
I like D'Amico Ryan.
I think he's a great defensivecoach.
I think they just got to figureout their offense.
They have Nico Collins who is aI think he is a top five
receiver in the league.
No, DeHop's on the Ravens.
(23:17):
Yeah, DeHop is on the Ravens.
I don't even know why I pickedhim up.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
DeHop's, older than LeBron Alright, who has given
their hot take.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yet I think we all have, we all have.
We have Finn and Jin saying theCamaras aren't going to make
the playoffs.
I have Stroud throwing for37-plus touchdowns this year.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Nobody's going to say the Eagles won't make the
playoffs.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Because they will.
Tom, that's what I'm saying.
As long as they got Barkley,they got a chance, they got off
at the line, they can runBarkley.
It could be hard to stop.
That's not even a hot take,it's impossible.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All right, close us out.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
What else do you got?
Final thing here oh, countychampionship lacrosse Monday For
Severn Park Northeast AtNortheastastern.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's Saverna Park South River at Northeast.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's so horrible.
5 o'clock.
We need to win.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Are we healthy?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Trevor's getting back .
Trevor's coming back.
I'm not sure when he'll be back.
They might be saving him forplayoffs.
I think that's a smart move.
It looks like he's gettingbetter.
They have the region and thecounty think that's a smart move
.
Yeah, it looks like he'sgetting better.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He's got to have the region and the county.
Yeah, I agree, that's a goodpoint.
Get the last laugh.
Yeah, all right, we've got toget out there.
We've got to root for it.
If you can't make it, watch iton the.
